Can decisions of the US Court of Federal Claims be appealed?
It depends completely on the subject matter of the case under question. The US Federal Court of Claims has limited jurisdiction. The Court's jurisdiction includes all claims against the government except tort, quitable and admiralty claims. The Court has nationwide jurisdiction over most suits for monetary claims against the government and sits, without a jury, to determine issues of law and fact. The general jurisdiction of the Court is over claims for just compensation for the taking of private property, refund of federal taxes, military and civilian pay and allowances, and damages for breaches of contracts with the government. The Court also possesses jurisdiction over claims for patent and copyright infringement against the United States, as well as over certain suits by Indian tribes and cases transferred from the Indian Claims Commission. In 1987, the Court's jurisdiction was expanded by the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, . . . . Additionally, the Court has jurisdiction to hear both pre-award and post-award bid protest suits by disappointed bidders on Government contracts.

No. The US Court of Federal Claims is an Article I court, which makes it part of the Legislative Branch of government rather than the Judicial Branch. Congress established the US Court of Federal Claims in 1855 to hear many types of cases involving monetary claims against the United States. According to US Code (28 USC § 1491), the jurisdiction of the Court "is over claims for just compensation for the taking of private property, refund of federal taxes, military and civilian pay and allowances, and damages for breaches of contracts with the government." The Court is also authorized to consider cases against the US involving copyright and patent infringement, bid protests for government contracts, disputes from Native American Nations, and cases involving Vaccine Injury. The US Court of Federal Claims also serves the unique function of issuing advisory opinions to Congress, on request, regarding questions involving bills and resolutions.

The jurisdiction extends to virtually all claims for compensation against the federal government except for torts, admiralty and equitable matters. See the Related Link below where it states: The general jurisdiction of the Court, described in 28 U.S.C. § 1491, is over claims for just compensation for the taking of private property, refund of federal taxes, military and civilian pay and allowances, and damages for breaches of contracts with the government. The Court also possesses jurisdiction over claims for patent and copyright infringement against the United States, as well as over certain suits by Indian tribes and cases transferred from the Indian Claims Commission. In 1987, the Court's jurisdiction was expanded by the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, which created the Court's Office of Special Masters to rule on petitions for compensation due to injuries attributed to specified vaccines. This vaccine injury jurisdiction has been enlarged in recent years to encompass claims stemming from a number of additional vaccines, including, for example, varicella, hepatitis B, and influenza. Additionally, the Court has jurisdiction to hear both pre-award and post-award bid protest suits by disappointed bidders on government contracts.

Can you file for criminal mischief in small claims court?
No. Criminal mischief is a crime (as far as i know its a misdemeanor, but it could be a felony somewhere). Being that it is a crime it goes to a criminal court. Small claims court is for civil disputes, typically for claims under $2,000. Only your state/county/local law enforcement can take someone to court for criminal mischief. Now say the 'criminal mischief' was something that caused damage to you or your property, then you can file a suit in small claims court for the cost of damages. You just need to be able to prove what it cost(s) to fix these losses.

Try to work it out with him in a civil manner. If that fails then you have no choice but to take him to small claims court. Be aware that it is up to you to prove he did something wrong. A notarized letter from other mechanics listing what he did wrong will help your case. If it is just your word against his you will loose.
